LIFE AFTER SCHOOL
Joining clubs and doing extracurricular activities are great ways to develop your hobbies and find friends who share the same interests with you. What do you do to combine fun with learning?
ADELINE , 11, France
I am crazy about drawing! However, I like comics, not traditional paintings. That’s why I’m in the Comics Club at my school, not the Art Club. My partners Sophie and Lucas write the best stories ever, and I draw the best pictures to them!
EDDY, 12, USA
I love music very much. I sang in the school choir last year, but this year I want to join the school band. They play rock and roll, and it’s my favourite type of music! I took drum lessons during summer, and I’m really good at it now, so I definitely have a chance to fit in!

YAN , 13, China
My passion is science, and I’ve been in our school Science Club for 3 years now! We meet three times a week after lessons, we analyse and we learn various theories. However, my favourite part is when we do different experiments to test everything in the school lab!

What school celebrations are mentioned in the text?
How do teachers and students celebrate them?
SPECIAL DAYS AT SCHOOL
Except for such well-known holidays as Christmas, New Year or Independence Day, there are also those days which are dedicated to school.
Second, Teachers’ Day — an international holiday which underlines the importance of teachers and their hard work in the world. Many students give flowers to their teachers on that day.
First, Knowledge Day on 1st September when a new school year starts. The headteacher, all the teachers and students gather around in the school hall or outside. The headteacher welcomes everyone and usually makes a speech.
Finally, School’s Anniversary — the date when your school was founded. Some students call it ‘My School’s Birthday’. The headteacher often makes a speech. There may be a presentation on the school’s history or even a big festival.
Third, Graduation Day — the day when a school year ends, usually in June. Most students are happy because it means that summer holidays begin and they are free from their studies for a while. On the other hand, there are graduates for whom this school year is the last one. They can feel a bit sad because they may never see their classmates and teachers again.
There are many other holidays that students and their teachers may have. The ways of celebrating these days often vary from country to country, from one school to another because all of them have their own traditions. However, the special spirit of celebration is what they all have in common.

Every morning my mother cooks breakfast. She fries some eggs in a frying pan. My sister sometimes boils sausages in a small pot. When the eggs are ready, Mum serves them to us with nicely decorated salad and boiled sausages. While my mother is doing that, my sister is cutting some bread and taking out a teapot, cups and plates.
When the water in the kettle boils, my sister puts some tea into the teapot, pours some boiling water into the pot and the tea is ready.
Sometimes my mum prefers coffee to tea. Then my father prepares it. He is good at making coffee. I never drink coffee. I prefer tea. My sister sometimes drinks coffee with milk or cream.

Your Table Manners show
Politeness is the key to getting respect from others, improving your communication skills and becoming more sure of yourself. Many people expect you to have good manners in different places and situations, including at the table. Proper eating includes the kind of food you have, the way of cooking it, the manner of serving it and the way of eating it. In old times, people usually used their hands to eat everything until they invented kitchen items — forks, knives, spoons, plates, bowls, glasses, cups and so on. The way of cooking and serving meals has also become different. Today, we not only have a big table but also do not build a fire to make food. Instead, there are many items of technology that help us with it — a cooker, a fridge, a blender, a toaster, etc.
Read the article and guess the meanings of the words in the Words For You box.

How did people cook and eat in the past? What things are helpful in cooking and eating today? What norms and traditions are there in different countries?
b) Say if the statements below are true or false. You are expected to be polite at the table. People never ate food with their hands in old times.
who you Are
Table manners vary from one country to another. For example, in Europe people use forks and knives, while in Asia chopsticks are the main device. There is a world standard to eat at the table. However, there are some countries, like India or Bangladesh, where people have a tradition to eat sitting on the floor. Even among families there can be differences in table manners. Some still eat food with their hands or use only a fork and no knife. Others always wash their hands before a meal, use all the kitchen utensils and even put a napkin on their knees or necks. All in all, our world is different in many ways, even when it comes to eating and serving food. The way you behave at the table can show everyone what kind of person you are. What we all have in common is the wish to be respected. That is why it is always important to consider where and with whom you are having your meal.
3 Cooking food is the same today as it was in the past.
4 Asians do not usually use forks and knives while eating.
5 Forks and knives are the devices used in Europe.
6 In all countries people have meals sitting at the table.
7 Each family has the same table manners.
8 Everyone wants to be respected.
a) Read the comments to the article (p. 48) and say who:
thinks that forks and knives are not always needed
gets upset when people watch him/her eating on the floor
is sometimes annoyed with his/her mother about the table manners
is surprised to know that manners can show others what you are like the is
VANESSA , 13, Portugal

WILLIAM , 13, Wales
Such true words! But I must say, it sometimes drives me crazy when my mum makes me use a knife when I eat meat or fish.
CARLOS , 12, Brazil
TEJ , 12, India
Like it says in the article, different nations eat differently. That’s why I don’t understand why some people look so surprised when I eat my lunch sitting on the floor.
I don’t think that eating with your hands is bad as long as they are clean. I mean, why do I need a fork and a knife to eat an apple? It’s not like I’m having a fancy1 dinner.
b) Have a discussion in groups of 3-4. Tell others what you think about good table manners and different ways of eating and serving food. Also say what norms and traditions at the table you have in your own family. 1fancy [9BnsI] — тут: званий

FOOD ARTIST
I wasn’t much of an eater when I was a child. That used to drive my mum crazy. ‘Don’t play with food!’ were the words I heard so many times. But that was the only thing I liked about lunch. While sitting at the table and looking at the plate in front of me (not wanting to eat), I imagined that the pieces of broccoli were a forest and the beans were the ground. The forest was nice to look at, but the broccoli was not nice to eat. Mum looked at me happily every time I took a fork. However, I almost never used it to put food into my mouth. I used it as a brush to do a painting from mashed potatoes. I loved art at school and I thought that food was the most perfect material for it.
Years later, I became a food artist. You must be wondering what that means. Well, a plate is a canvas for me. I still sometimes play with food instead of eating it, but now I do it professionally. People hire me to decorate their tables. I carve pumpkins, watermelons and other fruit and vegetables. I make sculptures using rice and chocolate, pasta, sweets,
biscuits and other kinds of food. You can’t even imagine what a food artist can do with an orange!
Some people think I create food art for the rich only. But that is not true. I enjoy preparing food for my friends, too. I make dinner for my family every day and they love it. First, they take photos of the food and then they eat it. I use those photos to promote my work.
1 The man loved eating very much in his childhood.
2 His mother got angry when he played with his food.
3 His favourite food was vegetables.
4 The man saw broccoli as a park.
5 He never used any forks.
6 Now he plays with food as a professional.
7 He uses different food to make sculptures.
8 The man makes a lot of money as a food artist.

4 Add the honey and then the soy sauce to them.

Easter is a great Christian holiday. It is in spring. Its symbols include the Easter bunny and Easter eggs. I usually spend Easter with my family. We always have Easter breakfast together. We have bread, ham, eggs and cheese. The day before Easter my brother, father and I paint and decorate the eggs. We go to church, watch some cartoons and eat chocolate eggs. In the afternoon, we go for a walk. Sometimes our grandma visits us. I always send Easter cards to my aunt. I love Easter because it is usually sunny and there is no school. What does Easter look like in Ukraine? How do you spend this holiday?
Write a paragraph about any tradition you like. Include the following:
What is it called?

Lent is the period of forty days before Easter.
It’s a time to give up something, for example, to stop eating sweets. Then at Easter, children in Britain eat lots of sweet things, especially chocolate eggs! Lent begins on Wednesday, and many people eat something special the day before called Shrove Tuesday. In Britain the day before Lent is also called Pancake Day. On that day they eat pancakes. Pancakes are made of eggs, flour and milk.

For Someone I Love
Even though you can show how much you love your mother on any day, a special day is set aside to honour mothers.
In the United States, Canada and Australia, Mother’s Day is the second Sunday of May. This special day was first observed in the United States in 1908 through the efforts of Anna Jarvis.
On Mother’s Day, some mothers get cards and gifts that their children have made for them. Other mothers might get sweets or flowers. Many women wear carnations1 on Mother’s Day. If a woman wears coloured carnations, it means her mother is living. If she wears white carnations, it means that her mother has died.
People in England celebrate a special day called Mothering Sunday. It comes about three weeks before Easter. On that day, sons and daughters living away come home with flowers and special cakes or sweets for their mothers. Some children give their mothers flowers that are blessed in church on Mothering Sunday.
What about fathers? Do they have a special day, too? Of course, they do.
Fathers get cards and gifts their children have made for them as well as ties and other gifts. Father’s Day is celebrated in June in the United States, Canada and England and in September in Australia.

Does his club T-shirt have something to do with it? The journalists have found out that Real was offered a €100 million contract for Valverde, but didn’t want to let their star go!

The Rangers’ second baseman, who is also a professional baseball shortstop, Marcus Semien, said, ‘Everything I’ve ever worked for is for this moment.’
Shane Fury is afraid that his brother Tyson may give up his career in boxing. There were many reasons why he almost lost the fight against Ngannou. As Shane explains, ‘My brother hadn’t boxed for 12 months.

OLYMPIC GAMES
The Olympic Games are a modern international sports event. The best athletes from all over the world compete in different kinds of sports. The games started in ancient Greece, but now they take place in different countries every four years. All athletes are proud to represent their countries. The motto of the Olympic Games is ‘Faster, Higher, Stronger — Together’.
The flag is one of the symbols of the Olympics. It has a white background with five interlocking rings: blue, yellow, black, green and red. Why these six colours? Because they appear on all the national flags of the world. The five rings represent the five continents: the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania.
The best athletes in each sporting event get medals: gold for the first, silver for the second and bronze for the third place. However, the most important thing is not to win, but to take part.
During 2-3 summer weeks, athletes compete in more than 30 sports disciplines: gymnastics, athletics, rowing, badminton, wrestling and many others. The modern Summer Olympic Games started in 1896.
Figure skating, ice hockey, skiing and snowboarding are some of the ice and snow kinds of sports that you can see during the games. There aren’t as many sports as in the Summer Olympics, but they are also interesting. The first Winter Olympic Games were organised in France in 1924.
The Paralympic Games are the games for athletes with disabilities. They are held every four years in the same year as the Olympic Games. They are parallel to the Olympics and that is where their name comes from. Thousands of athletes from many countries compete in events such as wheelchair basketball, para cycling, para swimming, para athletics, wheelchair tennis and many others.
Taking part in the Olympic Games not only includes competition to show that you are the best. These games also bring people from different countries together to communicate and have fun.

FAMOUS UKRAINIAN ATHLETES
Sport has always been one of the ways in which Ukraine shows its strong and talented people to everyone. The Ukrainian athletes like the Klychko brothers in boxing and Andrii Shevchenko in football are widely known all around the world. However, these are only a few examples.
What about the younger generation in sport? They say there are less young athletes in Ukraine who are famous. Is it so? Let’s see.
Six medals were won by swimmer Andrii Trusov at the 2020 Summer Paralympic Games in Tokyo. He even set a world record at the 2023 Para Swimming World Championships.
The first Olympic bronze medal for Ukraine in tennis was won by Elina Svitolina in Tokyo.
A bronze and a silver medal in Tokyo were given to swimmer Mykhailo Romanchuk. The fifth place was taken by his wife, Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk, who was in the long jump final.
In women’s judo the first bronze medal was won by Daria Bilodid in Tokyo.
The athletes who are mentioned above were only 20-26 when they achieved these results. Many young Ukrainians are inspired by them to go into sport and become successful, too. What about you?

Emergencies happen when we least expect them and then we must think fast and react fast as well.
If someone is seriously injured, we must call an ambulance immediately because it could be a matter of life and death. While waiting for the ambulance, we may be able to save someone’s life by giving them first aid.

Hi John,
I remember the time when I was out of school for a month. One Thursday I fell off my bike and broke it into pieces. And I broke my leg, too. I stayed at hospital for three days. Then the ambulance brought me home. But I couldn’t play football or go out with my friends. I was really bored at that time. I didn’t see my schoolmates till the holidays. Mum bought me some books, but I read them quickly. I had done 150 word puzzles and had seen 35 films before I recovered and came back to normal life. So, my advice to everybody: be careful when you ride your bike or do any other things. It’s not so good to be out of school for weeks!

WHEN I WAS SIX YEARS OLD
When I was 6 years old, I got flu. It happens to lots of kids and then they are OK, but it wasn’t OK with me. I had a serious illness called encephalitis1. I had been staying at home and feeling ill for a long time. Then a serious problem started with me.
I always found school difficult, and my teachers explained me the same thing many times. I often left school things at home. The kids in my class teased me and said I was stupid, and my teachers thought I was lazy.
But my parents didn’t take me to another school. So, I continued to go to the same school. Every month I stayed a week in a hospital. Doctors taught me to do special exercises to help my memory.
My memory had been returning step by step. I am 30 now and I am back to normal.
And I sometimes ask myself: Were my parents right that they hadn’t taken me to another school?

A SHORT FILM REVIEW
Read the review of the film The Matrix from Tim Jacobs and answer the questions below.
The Matrix is a science fiction film directed by Andy and Larry Wachowski. The main characters are played by Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano.
The film is about a man, Thomas Anderson (Neo), who lives two lives. By day he is a computer programmer and by night he is a hacker. One day he meets Morpheus who tells him that a race of machines really rules the world.
The film is fantastic and very thrilling. I extremely love it because there are a lot of surprises and exciting events. The actors are really good, especially Laurence Fishburne. He is brilliant in the role of Morpheus. The special effects are amazing and the soundtrack is awesome.

The term ‘Great Britain’ is often confused with the term the ‘United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland’ (the UK for short). Great Britain usually refers to a large island divided into England, Scotland and Wales, whereas the UK is the official name of the country.
The main symbols that come to our mind when we hear the words ‘Great Britain’ or ‘London’ (the capital city of the UK and England) are the River Thames, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, the Royal Family, high tea (drinking tea in the late afternoon), bobbies (nicknames for police officers), double-deckers and red telephone boxes. However, these places and things describe England, and the UK is so much more than that. usually refers to a large the is so

3 Read the text (pp. 140-142), then say if the statements below are true or false.
1 Great Britain is often confused with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
2 Most of the things and places connected with the UK are actually about England.
3 Scottish people never mind when others call them English.
4 Some of the famous places in Edinburgh are Dunluce Castle, the Senedd and the Peace Bridge.
5 The world’s best golf courses and the Game of Thrones territories are in Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland is another part of the UK situated in the north-east of Ireland. Its main languages are English and Irish. This country is famous for its beautiful nature, the world’s best golf courses, the Game of Thrones territories and, of course, its capital — city Belfast. The best places to see and visit in Northern Ireland include Dunluce and Belfast Castles, the Dark Hedges, the Giant’s Causeway, Titanic Belfast, Belfast City Hall, the Ulster Folk Museum and the Peace Bridge.
Wales is a country located on the west side of Great Britain. People there speak Welsh and English. Friendly behaviour, wet weather, rugged coastline, the biggest number of castles and many mountain parks — these are the things that best describe Wales. For a long time, Wales had no capital city, but in 1955 the city of Cardiff was chosen for this role. Besides Cardiff Castle, other famous Welsh places include: Llandaff Cathedral, the Millennium, Castell Coch, Cardiff Bay, the Senedd, Forest Farm Country Park and many others.
